What can you do on this screen?
On the Skills screen, you can create and manage the skill entries that are used for the skills in the task analysis in LEAD. In LEAD, we provide you with the Department of Labor O*NET Skills listing, based on the Department of Labor's (DOL) Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). These skill entries are already approved and used on the Competencies screens, so they cannot be deleted.

Finding Skill Entries
If you can't find the skill entry you're looking for, enter a search term in the Find: field and select Search. The table will list all skill entries that contain your search term on the screen.
You can click on the column headers of each table to sort the skill entries by that column. Clicking on a column header again will reverse the sort. Clicking on the column header a third time will remove the sort. Small arrows in the column header let you know which way the data is currently sorted.

No
The number (No) column provides a sequential count of the entries, which is not attached to the entries themselves.
Title
The Title or text of the skill entry. Skill entries are used in the task analysis for tasks, subtasks, and steps (aka skills) to state the developed capabilities that help with the acquisition of new knowledge or skills, in other words, skill entries state the skills that will make it easier to learn the task, subtask, or step. Skill entries can also state the prerequisite skill needed for the task, subtask, or step.
LEAD already contains the skill entries from the Department of Labor O*Net OnLine database, which are used on the Competencies tab. Feel free to add more specific skill entries, as needed, or even to expand on the existing ones.
When adding skill entries, concentrate on those that are needed for the successful completion of the task, subtask, or step, and not all possible skill requirements.
Status
The current Status of the library item. Once the initiative that uses the library item is approved, then the library item is also approved.
